The demise of the 'Big House' and the end of a era.

Now used as an advertising hoarding for a music festival, this derelict house was once a splendid home to a family who for over one hundred years ran a local business which included a saw mill and a store which sold everything from farm produce to petrol. .It was also a place of employment for many locals including my aunt who was employed as a Nannie and my grandfather who worked here as a coach man circa 1912.
